Chipped nail polish now trendy!
Categories: Life & Style, In The News, Weird But True
Good news for the manicure deprived mothers of the world! According to the New York Times, chipped nail polish is no longer evidence that you've just given up and let yourself go.
Instead, beat up nail color now says "I don't want to be too perfect" which is a message most mothers are able to convey quite convincingly without assistance, thanks to being forced to function on only 24 total minutes of sleep night after night after night.
Of course, fashion is never easy or everyone would be considered fabulous. The caveat with chipped nails is that they are only considered cutting edge when accenting an expensive handbag, designer outfit, and worn by someone clad in Sex and the City-esque shoes. Bearing beat up nails when wearing a stained t-shirt and yoga pants that haven't been washed in a week with a shrieking baby slung over your shoulder may not have the same artistic wallop noted by the NY Times, but it's a chance I'm willing to take until I have time for a touch up.

Best news I've had all summer! My water park / swimming pool / running around the garden toe nails thank you immensely :-)

Oh no, just read the article. Toe nails may apparently never ever ever have chipped polish. Oh well. There goes my shot at being a fashion goddess...

Sorry about that, Nicola. Should have added that little caveat as well as the one that chipped nails are NOT ACCEPTABLE in people over 35, so I'm out.
(Dammit!)

I do good to push my cuticles occasionally and put on a couple of coats of clear polish once in a blue moon, so either way the fashion compass points; I'm out of style.
I don't mind applying the new polish, but I truly despise the chemical solutions that are necessary to remove it!
